I placed an add to sell a car on Craigslist and received a few spam/scam replies. One was just a weak attempt to get me over to a "work from home" site. Another was from someone who claimed she was named Angelena. We exchanged a few emails where she asked if the car was available, etc. But then she sent this:

I need to make sure I can afford the insurance but I couldn't get this quote to work on my dial up connection. (slowww) Can you do me a huge favor and go to Auto Quotes and see how much the average quote is for our area?

I don't know much about attack/spam/scam sites, but that looks pretty dodgy to me.

Again, I never clicked on the link, instead I told her how much I pay for insurance and I never heard from her again so no harm done. Still I'm curious about why anyone would try to bait me into clicking a link.

Any of you site-savvy people know what it was about?

Looks like they are phising for information. Site claims to be secure but is not.
